Saheed thanking God shortly after his arrival in The Holy Land.
A South African man simply known as Saheed, who it took three years to reach Mecca by foot has said he would also trek back to his home town in Cape Town after performing the pilgrimage he had come for.
Saheed has made a record after he arrived in Mecca on foot three years after he set off from his home country to Islam’s holiest place.
According to a report, the man journeyed through several African and European countries before he reached his destination.
He reportedly started his almost impossible pilgrimage on August 30, 2018 and walked through Zimbabwe, Tanzania, Kenya, Sudan, Egypt and Palestine, where the COVID-19 border lockdown forced him to pause his journey.
The man said he stayed in Palestine for more than a year and after the border was reopened he continued walking through Jordan, and Medina before arriving at Mecca.
Speaking to reporters shortly after his arrival in the holy land, Saheed who is from Cape Town has assured that right after the Hajj, he will journey back on foot, the same way as he had come.
Saheed spoke to reporters about his experience shortly after arriving in Saudi Arabia.
